This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Figure 2.

1. The user must be trained and thoroughly
familiar with the proper operation and
limitations of the thermal imaging system
prior to use. Use in controlled live-burn
exercises is suggested before using the
equipment in actual emergency situations.
Improper use of the equipment in a hazardous
atmosphere could result in
serious personal injury or death.
2. Do not rely on the thermal imaging system as
the sole means of navigation or deviate from
standard fire-fighting navigational practices
during use. Although the system provides an
image in dark and smoky environments, the
user may become disoriented or lost in such
environments if the system becomes
inoperative.
Most electronic devices will cease to operate
at certain high temperature extremes. Tests
on the Evolution 5200 and Evolution 5200HD
2
TIC indicate that they will provide an
acceptable image when subjected to an
ambient temperature of approximately 120°C
(248°F) for 20 minutes. Exposure to
conditions exceeding these will result in
deterioration and loss of image.
3. Thermal energy is not transmitted through
glass or underwater and may be reflected off
of smooth surfaces. Disorientation may occur
if the user is unaware of these properties.
4. This thermal imaging system is not rated as
"Intrinsically Safe." Do not use the system in
environments or atmospheres where static or
sparks may cause an explosion.
5. Before entering a hostile environment, test
the thermal imaging system as specified in
the instructions to ensure that it is functional.
After each use, inspect the system to
determine if servicing is required.
6. Exposure to high temperature environments
for an extended period of time may cause
degradation or loss of thermal image. Avoid
heat saturation or over exposure of the
equipment. If degradation of the thermal
image is observed, immediately remove the
equipment from the high heat environment
and allow it to cool until the thermal image
returns to normal; otherwise, the system may
become inoperative.
7. Replacement batteries must exactly match the
ratings and configuration of those supplied
with the equipment. Use of unapproved
batteries may render the system inoperative.
8. Do not remove the thermal imaging camera
cover or casing as the system operates on
high voltage. Only authorized personnel may
service the unit.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE WARNINGS
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH.
1. Ensure battery is fully charged before use. If
not fully charged, the system will not operate
for the specified amount of time. Monitor
battery level during use and immediately exit
the hazardous area when a low battery
warning is observed.
2. Electromagnetic radiation (radio transmissions)
may cause interference. Minimize nearby radio
transmissions if excessive interference occurs.
3. To avoid lens fogging, the user may coat the
lenses and view finder with MSA anti-fog
material (MSA P/N 13016).
4. Do not point the thermal imaging camera
directly at the sun; otherwise, damage to the
detector may occur.
5. Do not drop the thermal imaging camera.
Although the camera is designed to withstand
normal impacts that occur in fire service, such
impacts may alter the focus or damage the
unit.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE CAUTIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
1. Although the Evolution 5200 and Evolution
5200HD
2
TICs are IP67 waterproof, these
systems do not provide underwater thermal
images.
2. The Evolution 5200 and Evolution 5200HD
2
TICs do not provide images through glass,
water, or shiny objects; these surfaces act like
mirrors to the system.
3. The Evolution 5200 and Evolution 5200HD

mode to provide greater image details of the
surroundings.
In high-heat conditions, the TIC will automatically
enter the Low Sensitivity mode. While in Low
Sensitivity mode, the TIC's dynamic range is
extended, thereby allowing the user to make better
distinction of objects and people within a higher
temperature range. When the Evolution 5200 TIC
is in Low Sensitivity mode, the letter "L" appears in
the lower left corner of the display.
B - Shutter Indicator -
An on-screen indicator that tells the user when the
TIC is shuttering appears as a green square in the
upper left corner of the display.
While the TIC is in operation, it is periodically
necessary for the TIC to refresh the focal plane in
order to operate properly. This occurs via an
internal shutter mechanism. When the TIC
shutters, the image on the display temporarily
freezes for about one second. Shuttering can
occur more frequently in higher heat conditions.
This is normal for all microbolometer - based TICs.
C - Optional Quick-Temp Indicator -
On-screen operating Quick Temp spotter and
vertical bar gauge spans temperatures from 0°F
(0°C) to 300°F (150°C) in High Sensitivity mode
and 0°F (0°C) to 1000°F (500°C) in Low Sensitivity
mode for objects located in the spotter. The digital
temperature feature displays the approximate
numeric value of the temperature of objects
located in the spotter.
G - Optional 2X Digital Zoom Indicator
on the Evolution 5200 TIC -
An on-screen indicator that tells the user when the
TIC display is in the Zoom mode, appears as
[ 2X ] in the lower center of the display.
LED Indicators
D - Over Temperature Warning -
Warning activates when the system electronics
approach maximum recommended operating
temperature limits.
• Not lit indicates system is within operational
thermal limits
• Flashing Red indicates the TIC has exceeded
recommended operational thermal limits.

Most electronic devices will cease to
operate at certain high temperature
extremes. Tests on the Evolution 5200
and
Evolution 5200HD

TICs indicate that they will provide an acceptable image when subjected to an
ambient temperature of approximately 120°C (248°F) for about ten minutes. Exposure to conditions exceeding these will result in deterioration
and loss of image.
E - System Status Indicator -
A single LED shows the operational status of
the TIC.
• Green indicates the TIC is ON and fully
operational
• Flashing Green indicates the TIC is ON and
in power-saving Standby mode.
F - Battery Status Indicator -
Battery capacity is shown by a row of three LEDs:
one green, one yellow, and one red. Only one of
the three battery status indicators will be
illuminated at any one time.
• Green indicates full or nearly full battery
capacity
• Yellow indicates marginal battery capacity
• Red indicates battery warning and nominally
15 minutes of battery life remaining
• Flashing Red indicates battery shutdown is
imminent (about one minute of warning time).
Additional Indicators
Optional Heat Seeker Plus Indicator -
The optional Heat Seeker Plus indicator adds
shades of color to objects in the scene reaching
high temperatures in both High and Low Sense
mode. The shades of color allow for some details
of the object to be seen for easier identification.
In High Sensitivity mode:
• The color of objects reaching 275°F (135°C)
will be yellow, starting with light shades
changing to darker shades, and then moving
to light and dark shades of orange as the
temperature increases.
• Once objects reach a temperature of297°F
(147°C), they become red starting with light
shades changing to darker shades up to a
temperature of 320°F (160°C).
In Low Sensitivity mode:
• The color of objects reaching 842°F (450°C)
will be yellow, starting with light shades
changing to darker shades, and then moving
to light and dark shades of orange as the
temperature increases.
• Once objects reach a temperature of 914°F
(490°C), they become red, starting with light
shades changing to darker shades up to a
temperature of 1040°F (560°C).
System Fault Indicator -
All five LEDs will flash if a system fault is detected.
The TIC's internal computer runs a self-diagnostic
program. If a problem with the internal component
is detected, a fault will be signaled and the LEDs
will flash.
Direct Video Connection
If you plan to use the TIC for viewing or recording
direct video, the Evolution 5200 and Evolution
5200HD2TICs are equipped with an SMA-type
video out connector located below the display,
next to the handle. Also included is an adapter
cable to a BNC connection (FIGURE 5).
If you plan to use the video out capability, attach
the SMA connector end and rout the adapter cable
to and through the front handle. The unit can then
be quickly attached to a video display using a BNC
connection.
